2. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

   A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion (i.e., in a straight line), in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. Linear actuators are used in machine tools and industrial machinery, in computer peripherals such as disk drives and printers, in valves and dampers , and in many other places where linear ...

3. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually operated valves require someone in attendance to adjust them using a direct or geared mechanism attached to the valve stem. Power-operated actuators, using gas pressure, hydraulic pressure or electricity, allow a valve to be adjusted remotely, or allow rapid operation ...

4. Electro-hydraulic actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-hydraulic_actuator

   Electro-hydraulic actuator. Electro-hydraulic actuators (EHAs), replace hydraulic systems with self-contained actuators operated solely by electrical power. EHAs eliminate the need for separate hydraulic pumps and tubing, because they include their own pump, [1] simplifying system architectures and improving safety and reliability.

5. Rigid belt actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_belt_actuator

   Patent Drawing for Serapid RigiBelt Rigid Belt Actuator (2007). A rigid belt actuator, also known as a push-pull belt actuator or zipper belt actuator, is a specialized mechanical linear actuator used in push-pull and lift applications. The actuator is a belt and pinion device that forms a telescoping beam or column member to transmit traction ...

6. Actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

   Actuator. An actuator is a component of a machine that produces force, torque, or displacement, usually in a controlled way, when an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic input is supplied to it in a system (called an actuating system). [1] An actuator converts such an input signal into the required form of mechanical energy.

7. Segmented spindle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_spindle

   Segmented spindle. A segmented spindle, also known by the trademark Kataka, is a specialized mechanical linear actuator conceived by the Danish mechanical engineer Jens Joerren Soerensen during the mid-1990s. [1] The actuator forms a telescoping tubular column, or spindle, from linked segments resembling curved parallelograms.
